Sync Licensing for Songwriters:
From Passion to Placement
Join me for an inspiring and practical session all about sync licensing—the world where music meets TV, film, ads, and more. I’ll be sharing my personal journey into sync: how I discovered it, the ups and downs along the way, and how it’s transformed the way I approach songwriting.
But this isn’t just about my story—it’s about your next steps. I’ll break down key things I’ve learned and give you actionable tips to start writing with sync in mind. We’ll talk about what music supervisors are looking for, how to write lyrics that work for sync, and ways to position your music so it actually gets heard.
Whether you’re curious about sync or ready to dive in, this talk is designed to equip and encourage you to start creating music that connects emotionally—and commercially.
Previous Guest Speaker
Our first Elevate - Songwriters Workshop on Jan. 25th was awesome! We were privileged to have hit Songwriter and Speaker Jason Blume beam in from Hawaii an share his thoughts on what makes a good song great!
Jason also gave away a couple door prices. Richard Marshall from Lexington won a free song critique from Jason and Jeff Everman from Georgetown received a substantial discount on his recorded lectures.
A big "Thank You" to all who attended and we hope to see you and others at our next Elevate - Songwriters Workshop!

Jason Blume is one of the few songwriters to ever achieve the distinction of having his songs on Billboard’s Pop, R&B, and Country charts – all at the same time. With his songs recorded by Pop superstars Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and Jesse McCartney as well as Country stars including Collin Raye, the Oak Ridge Boys and John Berry, and international artists like the Gipsy Kings, Blume’s songs are included on albums that have sold more than 50 million copies!
One of the nation’s most respected song writing teachers, when he is not writing hits, Blume teaches others how to do so. He developed and teaches the BMI Nashville Songwriters workshops and has taught his song writing techniques as a guest lecturer at U.C.L.A. and Vanderbilt University, as well as a member of the faculty of Los Angeles’ Pierce College, Nashville’s Watkins Institute, and internationally in Norway, Ireland, Jamaica, Canada, and Mexico.
The best-selling ‘6 Steps To Songwriting Success: The Comprehensive Guide to Writing and Marketing Hit Songs’ and ‘Inside Songwriting: Getting to the Heart of Creativity’ (Billboard Books) by Jason Blume take you step by step through everything you need to know to write successful songs – and get them published and recorded.
Jason’s newest book, This Business of Songwriting (Billboard Books), includes a plain English analysis of the contracts a songwriter would likely encounter—as well as instructions on how to pursue publishing and licensing deals; how to self-publish and successfully pitch your own material; placing songs in TV and films; understanding and collecting royalties, and much more. It was recently released and has received phenomenal reviews.
